Hi Marathoners,<\/p>\n
I’m a prose writer (fiction & memoir) and a poet. I have a poetry book titled “Saltwater.” The poems are about my childhood growing up in an abusive home. Writing is both healing to me and it is also one of the ways I show my love of the natural world. I also have a novel “Celia’s Heaven,” that will launch in September. As a surprise today (my husband and my 3rd anniversary) we arrived home after a walk south of Bellingham at Bowman Bay to find five boxes of books on the porch. I was thrilled, but also, I felt a little scare rise in me knowing I now have to market these books…and in the time of COVID. Can do this! Yes, of course!<\/p>\n
My other book, which is a project still I’m currently working on, is my memoir STRUCK, about two summers working as a fire lookout in the CLearwater Ranger District, Nez Perce National Forest, Idaho. I have a completed draft that I’m reading through and further revising it. When complete, I will write a proposal and send it out this year.<\/p>\n
As a poet I’ve written a poem a day during Peace Poetry Month, April Poetry Month, and August Poetry Month. I love to write poems. I’m thinking I might write about isolation. I’m happy to be involved with the poetry marathon.<\/p>\n
Best to all of you,<\/p>\n
